My Favorite Camera Apps

Posted on by Ben Delaney

My favorite camera app on my phone is Snapchat. Snapchat is a social media app that works by communicating with time-sensitive photos. I like it because it gives me access to many filters and stickers to make my pictures look good.  I also like it because it doesn’t take up space on my phone unless I save the photos. I can send my photos to people and even create a story that lasts for 24 hours. Another reason I like Snapchat is because the pictures disappear after a certain amount of time so people can not bring them up later.  I also like that Snapchat links up with my Bitmoji so I can put little copies of “me” in there. My favorite photo app on the computer is Pixlr. Pixlr is a photo editing app on the computer that is really helpful and free. I use Pixlr to edit photos and make memes. With Pixlr you can use all the regular tools like paintbrush, crop, text, etc. I like Pixlr because it’s easy to use and I can get my photos edited quickly.

White Backgrounds

First we set the ISO to 640. We set the F stop to 5 which controls how big the lens gets to let light in.  We changed the shutter speed to 1/20 of a second. This was much easier than the black background because I didn’t have to do as much editing and we could get more pictures taken in less time. These pictures were the exact opposite of the black background portraits.We had to make the shutter speed so more light was let in instead. When we did the black background we had to let in as little light as possible and for this we need as much light as we can.  What worked was the lighting of the background because we didn’t have to be as concerned about it. What was hard was that we had such a big group to take pictures of.
